In Washington, DC, there was a sneaky attack by Russian hackers. They didn’t use some super-advanced technology – no, they tried something pretty simple but smart. By checking out the Wi-Fi networks close to their target, they figured out how to gain access without anyone noticing. It’s almost like finding an unlocked back door into a house.

Here’s what happened: These hackers, known for being pretty skilled, tried what’s called “credential-stuffing.” Imagine having a bunch of keys (which are like passwords) and going around trying them on different doors to see if any will open. That’s basically what they did with Wi-Fi networks. Once they found one they could get into, they connected the dots to get closer to the target they were really after.

This is a good reminder that even your Wi-Fi could be a way for hackers to get into your personal or work information. It’s like a chain, where every link needs to be strong, so the whole thing doesn’t break.
